Song Garden is a small intimate school nestled in inner SE Portland. To nurture the wellbeing of the growing child, we offer a healthy balance of focused activities and imaginative free play. Circle-time opens with a rich tapestry of poetry, song, and movement that reflects the seasons and Nature’s beauty. The art of storytelling and puppetry brings vivid imagery and language to the child’s world. Our mornings may also include music time, natural craft projects, gardening, preparing and enjoying warm organic food.

Spring is here and the sweet fragrance of flowers is in the air. The families and extended friends of Song Garden community come together outdoors around the Maypole to sing, dance and eat good food as the musicians play festive tunes. Colored ribbons form both simple and intricate patterns as dancers of all ages cross over and under in rhythmic patterns. Beautiful flower garlands made by parents are worn by the children dressed in white as they sing and swirl around the Maypole and celebrate the beauty of Spring.

Lady Spring
She’s dressed in green,
She wears a primrose gown.
And little baby buds and twigs,
Are clinging to her gown.
The sun shines if, she laughs at all
And if she weeps
The raindrops fall
My Lady Spring, my Lady Spring.
